How to Get the Best Cooling from Your Defy Refrigerator
Freezer Temperature: Set the freezer between -18°C and -20°C for optimal storage.
Fresh Food Section: Keep the fresh food compartment between 4°C and 8°C.
Initial Use: When first switching on a new fridge, don’t load groceries immediately. Keep the door closed for 2–6 hours until the correct storage temperature is reached.
Air Circulation: Ensure vents are not blocked and avoid overloading items, so air can circulate freely inside the fridge.
LED Alerts: If an exclamation mark appears on the display, it may indicate a temporary issue such as a power fluctuation.
Ventilation: Keep the fridge at least 25 cm from the wall and allow proper airflow around it for efficient operation.
Check Doors: Make sure all doors are properly closed.
Resetting: If needed, reset the fridge by switching it off for 5 minutes, then plugging it back in, or wait 30–45 minutes for the temperature to return to normal.
